Observing Evolution

Creationists regularly claim that evolution is unobservable. This claim is false. To give some examples, just in recent days there have been a few important instances of scientists being able to witness crucial evolutionary transitions as they happen. Here are links to relevant articles:

In yeast, scientists have observed the transition from being a single-celled organism to multicellularity.

In a particular type of skink (a lizard), we have been able to witness the transition from laying eggs to live births.

The instance of an organism which straddles the distinction between plant and animal illustrates not only that the categories we use of “species,” “phyla” and even “kinds” are artificial and do not reflect the actual world, but also helps us understand how an animal or plant might transition from one category to the other in the course of its evolution. I wonder how a young-earth creationist would argue that an organism of this sort fits the claim in Genesis that each thing is made according to its “kind.”
